It is a nice little machine (4.4lbs) and completely suites my needs. I currently run the via driver from www.openchrome.org, and have no video problems with it. These drivers do have EXA support now thanks to some excellent work by Thomas Hellström. I will warn you that suspend to ram does not work. It is one of the VIA chipsets that suspends properly then reboots when you hit the power button to wake it up. There has been a kernel bugzilla open since 2.6.9. Suspend to disk does work on and off, depending what has been done to the kernel that night. Since this is just my mobile machine I don't have a huge need for suspend. Hope this helps.
